Image
Above all, it is a matter of loving art, not understanding it.
Fernand Leger
Image
The craving for colour is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Colour is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures.
Fernand Leger
Image

Fernand Leger
Image

Fernand Leger
Image

Fernand Leger
Image

Fernand Leger
Image
